Cristiano's New Book "Dreams Come True" Launch

Thank you everyone for your support

“Hello and a big thank you to everyone for all your messages of support. They’ve helped me get through what has been a difficult time for me as I look to fully recover from injury. I’m almost fit again, so I’ll see you all soon. Thank you.”

It’s been nearly two months since Cristiano Ronaldo injured his right ankle on 30 September against Olympique Marseille. The Portuguese star has since received thousands of messages of support from Madridistas from all over the world.

If everything goes according to plan, Cristiano will stop training on his own on Friday to join the rest of the squad.

Poor Cris out for four more weeks

If 'CR9' is forced to go under the knife, he could be sidelined for up to three months...

Any lingering hopes that Cristiano Ronaldo could make a swift comeback from injury have been dashed with the news that he faces at least another month on the sidelines.

Marca report that the Real Madrid star entered a hospital in Amsterdam by the back door at 14:55 CET and underwent a series of scans under the supervision of ankle expert Dr. Niek van Dijk.

Few details have been made available so far, but the key news is that the 24-year-old will be out for around a month if all goes well in his recovery programme.

Real Madrid released a statement on Wednesday evening, stating that, "there has been no clinical improvement of the bone edema". If the problem persists, Ronaldo could be forced to have surgery.

Manuel Pellegrini will be desperately hoping that this eventuality doesn't occur, as 'CR9' would then be out until well into the new year. Marca believe that Ronaldo would need another two or three months to fully recover from any operation.

Cris the 3rd

Thierry Henry was listed as the world's best football player in the Castrol Rankings.

Henry scored 23 goals and set up 11 more as Barcelona won the Champions League, Copa del Rey and Spanish league last season.

Lionel Messi, another of the five Barcelona players in the top 10, was second in the list released Thursday, just ahead of Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi and Ronaldo are the favorites for this season's Golden Ball award.

Barcelona center back Gerard Pique was fourth, ahead of Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.

A short message from Cristiano to the Portuguese national team

I wished with all my heart to fight for Portugal with you all, but as you know an untimely injury prevents me from doing so.

Your great challenge for this evening is to play a great game to take us to the South Africa World Cup; mine is to recover as soon as possible to help my team, Real Madrid, and our national team to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. I have to fight to recover because I believe that’s the best thing I can do to help the national team whenever it needs me. I want you to know that my heart will be with you in every minute of tonight’s game and that I will be proud of your efforts, just like everyone else in Portugal will be.

I wish you all the best.

"What's important is that my recovery is perfect in order to avoid future complications."

"I will work very hard to cut my recovery short, but it's important to recover well in order to avoid problems in the future. This injury has nothing to do with the one I had last year."

Cris out for month

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to miss up to a month of action for Real Madrid after sustaining an ankle injury in Portugal's 3-0 win over Hungary on Saturday, according to AS.

The winger suffered a recurrence of the same ankle injury which he picked up in Real's win over Marseille in the UEFA Champions League at the Bernabeu on September 30.

There were doubts over his fitness going into this game, after he failed to make Madrid's trip to Sevilla last weekend but after a fitness test on Friday he was declared fit to play.

Ronaldo played less than half an hour of the European Group One World Cup qualifier and following an MRI scan after his return to Madrid the club have revealed that he will be out for at least three or four weeks.

As a result Ronaldo is likely to miss two Primera Liga ties as well as both Champions League games against Milan with a trip to the Vicente Calderon to face Atletico Madrid on November 8 a possible return date for the Madrid's top marksman.

Goal King

Real Madrid have scored an impressive number of goals during the start of the campaign thanks, in part, to Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star has the best goal-scoring average in Europe, with 1.28 strikes per game.

By keeping up this amazing streak, the player would end up scoring 64 goals in 50 games, a truly impressive feat.

Cris ia a leader in markers

Cristiano Ronaldo had already tops scorers of Champions League after two rounds in the main club competition in Europe. The Portuguese international added on Wednesday, ahead of Marseille, the second in a row as many games, surpassing the Brazilian Grafite(Wolfsburg), in the first round had achieved a hat-trick. Falcao and Ronaldo scored the first goal for FC Porto this season's competition after the team's J. Ferreira have been empty during the visit to Chelsea.

Evra: "Cristiano arrogant? It is the best person I knew"

Patrice Evra insists the image of former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo portrayed by the media is far different than the player he knew.

The defender played alongside the Portuguese winger for three-and-a half years at Old Trafford before Ronaldo switched to Real Madrid for a record £80million in the summer.

Despite being recognised as one of the world's leading footballers many perceive the 24-year-old to be arrogant and moody.

However Evra states that could not be further from the truth and describes the Fifa World Player of the Year as a 'good guy'.

"He's not arrogant," Evra said. "He suffers as a result of his image as a fashion guy but honestly, he's the greatest professional I have ever trained with.

"He never has enough of it. This lad has to be the first everywhere in everything. If you play ping pong with him he can't stand losing.

"And in life, he's really a good guy. He's calm, he loves joking around, he really likes teasing people. In fact he's a bit like (David) Beckham.

"He's driven. They don't give themselves the right to make mistakes."

Evra even went on to point out that Ronaldo does not dive but did admit that the United players poked fun at the forward for his theatrical responses to being fouled.

"There has also been a lot of fouls against him which were never given because of his reputation," he added.

"When you look at the tackles he gets each game, well quite frankly the lad has reason to dive, if not he would break himself.

"After okay, he reacts badly. We also used to tease him."

The France international also highlighted that all the individual awards Ronaldo received towards the end of his stay with the Red Devils only had a positive effect on his personality.

"Yes he changed," he admitted. "At the end he had even more hunger, trained even more, because he needed to be the best.

"I don't know how he will act at Real. At United no-one plays the star. When you're with people such as Ryan Giggs or Paul Scholes, legends of this club, you can't. It's impossible."

From the Bernabeu to the Heavens

Twenty-four hours before making their Champions League debuts in the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid’s eight new signings climbed to the top of the Torre Europa in Madrid for an incredible view of the stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Xabi Alonso, Albiol, Granero, Arbeloa and Garay are about to discover just how majestic the Bernabeu is when it rolls out the red carpet for the Champions League. These eight players will hear the Champions League anthem for the first time in their new home when Real Madrid host Olympique de Marseille on Wednesday. Eight stars whose only goal is to overcome all the obstacles en route to the 22 May final in their own stadium.

After a 29-story elevator ride and a two story hike, the players made it to the roof of the Torre Europa, where they silently looked out in amazement at the views offered by such a vantage point. "Seeing the Bernabeu from here is absolutely incredible," said Kaka as he snapped a picture with his mobile. "I have never seen anything like it. The view is amazing," added Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Playing the Champions League for Real Madrid is a dream come true," whispered Garay, "Real Madrid will return to where it belongs." Pointing down towards the stadium, Arbeloa commented, "That down there is Real Madrid’s stadium, where 95 percent of footballers dream about playing. It is one of the most special pitches in the world." Benzema has already played on it and didn’t hold back his thoughts. "This is a great team full of talented players. We want to win this title which means so much to everyone," said the Frenchman.

Raul Albiol is "anxious to hear the Champions League anthem and for the match to begin." From another point on the roof, Granero commented, "We have plenty of reasons to be excited. We can do some great things in Europe." "Yes. Of course we can win this Champions League," responded Xabi Alonso.

Players and Madridistas believe it is possible, and half the battle is already won with the talent and excitement generated by the squad. The rest of the road won’t be easy and plenty of obstacles still remain, but from the apex of the Spanish capital and with the stadium at your feet, it is easy to envisage Real Madrid being crowned the champion of Europe at the Santiago Bernabeu.
